16. When the Format Partition window appears, enter a new
name for the volume table if you’d like. For RAID volumes
up to 16TB, accept the default allocation unit size; for RAID
volumes greater than 16TB, select 8192 from the drop-down
menu. Select Perform a quick format, and then click Next.
17. When the next window appears, click Finish.
Note: If you do not select the quick format option, this process will take
much longer to complete.
18. Repeat steps 11–17 for each remaining “unallocated” disk.
19. Depending on how you configured the RAID groups,
the volumes may already be available to use. If you
created a DVRAID, RAID Level 4, or RAID Level 5 group,
configuration will take much longer. You may check on the
progress by clicking the Monitor button to the left of the
window.
20. Once all the RAID groups have been formatted and finish
building, they are ready to use.
